Today I am going to show you how to make a peel-off mask at home. This is a multi-purpose mask which helps in-

1. Whitening your complexion instantly (GLOWING)2. Removes Blackheads

3. Deep Cleanses

4. Tightens your skin/pores

5. Controls oiliness.

You could call this the cheapest mask ever because you need only the white of an egg. You, your mom as well as your sister etc can get this beautifying treatment from 1 egg's white. Ooohh you also need tissue paper for the mask- gawwd I forgot about it.

Take the white of an egg is a small bowl and beat it slightly. Now using a face pack brush apply the egg white on your face and neck, avoiding the eye and mouth area. Take a thin tissue and cut out holes for your mouth, eyes and nose. Place it gently over your egg white brushed face, pat gently. Or you could tear the tissue into small pieces and place on your face one by one to cover fully.

Now apply another layer of egg white over tissue and leave it on to dry. When completely dry, gently peel-off the tissue or tissue pieces in an upward direction from the face. Check out all the blackheads on the tissue...yuck.

Wash off with tepid water and apply a mild moisturiser.

Now I am updating this post to clear up many doubts of many anonymous readers. So I have come up with these points to remember for all my readers:* Donot use gift wrapping tissues, Use the ones that you would generally use to blow your nose

* Take off the mask after its completely dry by peeling it from downwards to upwards direction* Please be patient because it takes time to dry off completely* Use only fresh/raw eggs

* For oily skin use twice in a week and for dry skin use once in a week or twice in 10 days

* The drying time depends on the season/weather/environment. in summers it would dry soon enough (15 mins maybe), in winters (25-30 mins maybe) and in airconditioned environment is takes a little more time to dryHope this extra tips clear your doubts. Thank you :)

@rara- welcome dear :D Dont use this more than once a week as its winter now. With regular use you will have a blackhead-free skin with minimum pores showing on your skin. Thanks very much for letting us know your experience :)

i was looking for a diy blackheads removal and found your site. I actually tried it, some of my blackheads were gone! I was thinking maybe i peel it off too soon.Pls. tell me how many minutes before i peel off? I will definitely try it again. Thank you.

@anonymous- drying time depends on many factors like your skin factor, weather condtion etc. So you have to decide your own timings, when your skin feels very stretched or when you touch your face with your fingertips and they come out dry then your mask is dry. Sorry cant help much. Thanks for being here :)

@anonymous- sorry for the delayed response. you can use kleenex or any other 2 ply tissue (tissues that can be peeled into 2). first apply a layer of egg white and stick on the tissue pieces and apply another layer of egg white. this should help. thanks

i have not tried this, but i have tried the homemade biore where you mix a tbsp of milk with tbsp of unflavored gelatin, put in microwave for 15-20 sec, apply to face while still warm, because it hardens fast. when totally dry, peel it off. it is EXACTLY like a biore strip, but for your whole face and cheap!

thank you all for your lovely comments, do shott back if you have any queries. kindly also read the comments before asking a question as most querries have already been answered. welcome to BDI everyone

Me and my boyfriend tried this together we did it word for word , and our skin was just soft. No black head removal ... it was kinda disappointed :( and the tissue paper was gift wrapping tissue paper which didn't stick to the face very well. Is there some other type of paper we can use to remove the blackheads? Thank you -Raquel.

Are any of you literate, can you not read what it says. KLEENAX, USE KLEENAX, and let it dry, remove from the bottom working your way up. And for Petes sake wash your hands and face afterwards well because ut is raw egg and you can get salmonella poisoning

I have not tried this but I foresee a problem people may encounter if using colored gift tissue. When we were a kid we would put a little piece of colored gift tissue in our glue bottles to color our glue in school. The dye transfers from it very easily when it is wet.

I did this today and it worked!!!I used toilet paper and it took quite a long time to dry since it was cottonelle ultra. My cheeks were still damp when I pulled it off, I didnt have the time to wait any longer but everything else was like plaster.I got blackheads off of my nose and forehead! It probably would have gotten a lot off my cheeks if I had waited. It also pulled off the tiny peach fuzz hairs from my forehead and some of my slightly overgrown unibrow =POh I also add some fresh lemon juice and about 1/4tsp honey. I usually make a mask using those ingredients so I decided to keep it the same.Ill post image once photobucket is up.https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s720x720/377046_10151207201473169_1207845389_n.jpg

It's been really fun reading the comments! I wonder if some of you are for real or just trying to get a rise out of the rest. Read all comments before asking questions. Your question may have already been answered and then you won't be wasting the bloggers time. And really? Cooked egg white? How were you gonna get that to stick?! Some common sense would go along way.

Have any of you that are flipping out on the "dumb girls" ever stopped to think that maybe people have different meanings for terms or phrases in different countries and cultures?? In America when you say tissue paper it means gift wrap, tissue without paper is Kleenex, and never have I said or heard tissue anything used to describe toilet paper but I was intelligent enough to look up where the blogger was from and realize there may be a difference in what we call tissue paper. Why don't you step out of your yard for a second and look around the world before you start slamming people to make yourself feel superior to the "dumb girl". This post was meant to help people then you put up negative comments just because someone wanted to make sure they had the right tools to get the best results possible.

Was really excited to try this, used a fresh egg and regular Kleenex (not the lotion kind or anything), made sure it was moist enough, left it on about 15 minutes, wasn't wearing any makeup, had no skin issues other than a blackhead-covered nose. When I peeled the mask off, no blackheads came off but my skin was brighter. The next morning my nose was covered in large clumps of acne and my chin was completely broken out. This kind of thing has never happened to me before, and I didn't eat anything new or weird or do anything different to my face other than the mask. Two weeks later and I still have some pretty bad scars on my nose from the acne. :( Glad that it worked for other people but I have no idea why that happened! All I can figure is it was the mask.

You are all either too lazy to read previous comments or half brain dead I swear!1. Use kleenex or ass wipe NOT wrapping tissue! Seriously why would you all think that she is suggesting you put gift tissue on your faces?! Geez! Lol2. Also, if you don't wait until its so dry its almost hard to the touch of course it wont work!!!3. And lastly if you have a hairy face, nair should probably be your first concern, not blackheads... just saying lol.

Additionally,RAW EGG WHITE! CRACK THE EGG, SEPARATE THE WHITES FROM THE YOLK!

And...It CLEARLY says to remove the strips going UPWARDS, and you must wait for it to DRY.

I'm not understanding why some of you are having such a hard time following clear directions or just using common sense.

And to the person who said something about "in America if someone says tissue paper then that means gift wrapping paper," like, SERIOUSLY? I've been in America for 22 years and maybe I just have a little more common sense than others, but I did NOT gather "gift wrapping paper" from this article.

Oh, and for the ones asking how long it takes to dry? Why don't you just do it at night before going to bed if you're so worried about how long it will take? Or use a blow dryer or fan to speed up the process? OR... here's the best one, WAKE UP EARLIER AND DO IT if you plan on heading out! Like, come on people...

If you have concerns or issues with how much it will "whiten" your complexion or whatever, either you can just opt to NOT do it or use the internet to find out from other sites.

People need to learn how to read previous comments before asking a freaking question and/or just using common sense. Sheesh!

Well to Unknown, I've lived in the US my entire 30 years of existence. As far as I'm concerned tissue paper = gift wrapping paper. Where I'm from we do not refer to Kleenex as tissue paper, it's just tissue, so let's not be overly presumptuous.

Combine that with the fact that the picture on this post shows a BLUE mask and I can easily see how some people are confused about the type of tissue she is suggesting we use.

I just tried this (using Kleenex!) and it worked well for me. My skin is really soft right now and I did see the blackheads that came out. I think it might be easier to apply if you dip the kleenex in the egg white and then plaster that on your face. I'll try that next time. Spreading and sticking and spreading some more wasn't the easiest.

Any mask unless it has acids in it is only going to remove dead surface cells. A simple egg white mask is MOT going to lighten your skin. It may even out your complexion slightly because it is removing the dead surface cells that need to be exfoliated.

After reading all the great comments, with such excitement I ran down the stairs, swung open the fridge went to grab an egg, and we're out. -_- Luckily, there's a Publix less than a mile down the road, I'll post my results in a few. :)

Yea I tried a couple times; one with Cottonelle tissue on my entire face ,and then tissue "gift" paper on certain areas. I let them dry completely aaand got nothing but tight skin. Black heads are still there and a couple white heads. Sigh. I had so much hope. O well.

My mom and I both did this tonite. Worked amazing, basically a biore strip but for your entire face. I could tell a big difference in my mom's complexion. My face felt tight and removed blackheads, etc. from my nose. Such a cheap fix with great results.

well i just tried it, and i did use a face scrub before hand. i definitely understand the concept of the mask, it peels off very well! i couldn't see any blackheads on the tissue, but my skin feels tighter, softer, and less bumpy. wasn't the result i was hoping for, but i would definitely use again to soften and tighten skin!

Salmonella? From this? Come on. I guess I'm the only one that found that extremely entertaining. I've studied avian and foodborne illnesses/pathogens for the last 12 years. This can NOT give you Salmonella. Believe me. Hah.

Okay so that's when u read the comments and believe me they all pretty much say the same thing! Some people are just so slow that they still don't get it after its been repeated a freakin billion times! Like Really use a little bit of sense and it wouldn't be so darn difficult! poor little tink tinks!!!!!

Sooo, then can u explain why the same things have been repeated over an over an over and over again and they still can't get it? I mean its either pure stupidity or plain laziness. It would be more understandable if the question had only been asked once or twice but, come on now it don't matter where Ur from if u can read the blog then surely u should be able to read the comments.

I agree, I can see how you could get paler skin, tighter skin, maybe cleaner just because you remove a layer of skin, but I just tried it and maybe my blackheads are too small or something, but it did not do anything for me there. :(

I have these white spots (not exactly pimples but looks like it) right under neath my eyes right on my cheek bones. I have tried so many facial washes and none of them works. I'm alergic to walnuts and some have walnut powder so can't use those. I scrub that area and it just gets raw and red. Will this mask help it?? I will DEFINATELY try this method to see if it will!

Are you retarded? I'm sure you must be. You realize they don't MAKE eggs right? They come out of a chickens butt just the way they are. You can buy cartons of strictly egg whites, but its not because those eggs CAME that way. They cracked them open and strained the yolks out. If you're not too ignorant, the most idiot proof way to get the white separated from the yolk is to do it through a collander (the big bowl with holes you strain your macaroni with) over a bowl. If you do it right the white will slip through and the yolk will stay in the collander.

Tried it, did it right, and it didn't work on the blackheads. I even let it dry completely. But I will say that it took a lot of dead skin off, & my complexion is nicer. It would be fun to do this on a girls night & get a picture with everyone in their tissue faces.:)

I just did it and saw one blackhead on the tissue when i removed it :D Now my face feels so soft. I don't think you should expect to see any blackheads removed the first time. Keep trying it once a week and I'm sure u'll see something eventually

Can I use this on my nose?? Because I have black heads on my nose, and I am not sure weather that would be ok... because the directions say to make holes in the tissue paper for the nose and mouth, and I don't know if that would be OK.

Ok so i tried to put the hard boiled egg white on my face with wrapping paper.... The egg fell off my face as i walked around the house with eye and nose holes in wrapping paper. My dog ate the egg off the floor and i dont have wrapping paper to wrap this gift.Did i do this wrong?! :-P

Some of the confusion might be because in America tissue paper is the kind you wrap presents with. Tissues (Kleenex)o r toilet paper are different from tissue paper. Although not everyone subscribes to this, a lot do. I had the same confusion at first. Thought this may help. :) thanks for the mask. Its wonderful!

Just something I thought I would mention : oily skin does not messes array mean it's not dry. If you have dry and oily skin use the recommended one for dry. Throughout the week carry on your normal cleansing and moisturizing routine.
